Haven't dabbled in #PoemsAbout with @thebrokenspine.co.uk for ages. Here's a little 'un for today's #FaultLines with thanks to @alanparrywriter.co.uk

Reaching for the faultmeter
was the easy part. More tricky
was locating the positive
and negative terminals
of our disagreement

A moment observed in the garden....

Blossom petals litter the lawn
like the fallen of some conflict --
slain infantry of a battle
for us to fain the fruit of labour
not our own. I take a moment
of remembrance, salute the colours
under which they went to war.

I Hope all #promptcombo folk will forgive one of my very occasional forays among your number 🙏..... just couldn't resist the current #workinglove prompt from @hool415.bsky.social !!!

Surely

you've felt more than just
paperclips between us, more
than just occasional sharing
of Blu Tac? Us, us meeting with
such propriety at the photocopier,
maintaining such decorum
waiting patiently for the kettle
to boil in the office kitchen -
it's blowing off of steam
surely hinting at more than
the filling of a stained cup.

Hi to all at #promptcombo 👋. Here's my bash at this week's prompt, #visitor from @hool415.bsky.social

To get me there you'll have to lay-on
decent enticement. Something large
and round turning in the sky,

an amusement that sings, dings,
rings, plays a tune. A bagatelle that
accelerates ball bearings beyond

the speed of light to nestle in nests
of numbered pins. How about
a bowling alley, complete with

flashing scoreboard? somewhere I
can hurl a coconut? teacups made
for other than sipping, snd straw

on the floor yo keep feet off muddied
grass, to soak up children's tears?
A quieter area, perhaps, where we

could linger, all the ghosts haunting
someone else's train. At the end
I need to walk home with a soft toy

and a sugar rush. To get me to be
anything other than visitor will take
more, so much more, than this.
